I tore open the package it was an empty box No meaning to me just an empty box
Sender was a woman Sender was a woman
She said she's sending me everything That I... I... I never gave her... before, she said:
Fill it up and send it back Fill it up and send it back
So I sent her back an empty box A big mistake, sent back an empty box
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight And half insane just a sound
I crossed into a valley, a valley so dark That when I look back I can't see where I began, I can't see my hands, I don't even know if my eyes are open.
In the morning I was by the sea And I swam out as far as I could swim 'til I was too tired to swim anymore And then I floated and tried to get my strength back.
And then an empty box came floatin' by, An empty box and I crawled inside.
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight And half insane just a sound in the night
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight And half insane just a sound
